[Labyrinth Lord] Dungeon Creation Game

Over on the Goblinoid Games Forums elf23 (master of the City of Iron blog) has launched a Dungeon Creation Game where we are stocking a dungeon using the Labyrinth Lord rules. The dungeon is one I drew the other evening while watching back episodes of Stargate SG-1 (season 2 if you must know, and the last few episodes that season were really pretty awful.)

Here’s the dungeon we are stocking – I have a higher-resolution version stashed away of course so we can release the final project as a free PDF when done (and then maybe/hopefully start a new one!)

The Dungeon Creation Game

As a footnote, this goes back to mapping in pen instead of pencil, and was drawn in two hours while “watching” Stargate SG-1 Season 2, episodes 21 and 22 (both pretty damn bad, I might add).

I don’t see what was so bad about those SG-1 episodes. There was nothing spectacular about them, except that 21 introduced Stargate time travel (which is pretty cool). What was it you didn’t like about them?
Nice maps, by the way. It is really cool the way they interlock, and fit with the side-view map. I am very much looking forward to the stocked version.

I found the time travel episode to be a horrible cliche from old Star Trek and full of cheeze. But that’s just me being a crotchety old man.

Episode 22 feels like they took a one hour episode and stretched it into 2 hours before cutting it in half to be a cliff-hanger. Opening with 15 minutes of flashbacks? UGH. The only good flashback episode was the Clerks animated series one (episode 2, with all flashbacks of course going to episode 1).

I stocked this map using Labyrinth Lord random tables and then fleshed it out a bit. I know I have read before that you are interested in seeing what people do with your maps so if you would like the word doc contact me and I’ll send it to you.

This is fantastic!! I have been poking around with a randomly created campaign setting and it had a map feature of a large tree,

“18 A large hollow tree. Although it provides the benefits of shelter from the elements, there is a 2 in 6 chance that
some creature already uses the tree as a lair. If occupied, roll on the applicable table to determine the tree’s
occupant.”

I was thinking of having it be the entrance to a dungeon level or something. Now thanx to you I have a great map to work from to finish it off.
